Roundtable: Building on key themes that have been highlighted through the Innovating Health Series to date, the culture of innovation in healthcare will be further explored in this event to wrap up the year. Focusing our efforts on health system innovation specifically, rather than just product innovation is difficult but people agree is what is needed. How can our health leaders make valuable changes to the culture of innovation in healthcare highlighting system innovation changes and collaboration rather than just organisational led change?

Our key take-away as participants and observers at the event were:
- Ensure there is clear definition and understanding of innovation as a step change
- Leverage healthcare strengths in research, learning and broad roles of system participants to build capacity in innovation and cultural change
- Focus on broader systemic conversations about value creation, for whom and how funding follows as a key ingredient for system innovation and change
- Create reflective space to learn, to examine the system and to do differently
- Create spaces and time for change agents to grow, to learn the system, to connect with others. This includes how to navigate power, resistance, work the system and how to connect and curate across the system.
- Make innovation part of the everyday and not just for crises and specially funded projects. Include the importance of innovation measurement and the ability to learn off other to fast track innovation
